My Winter Garden
by Tom
(Arkansas)
I grew kale, collards, Japanese greens (mizuna, mibuna) and Chinese cabbage in a cold frame this winter, followed by lettuce in March when it was time for the cold frame top to come off.
Packing in the nutrition!
Hi, I'm Charlotte. I was born and raised on a farm in Oregon's Willamette Valley, and I learned to garden as a little child alongside my parents and grandparents. I started this site in 2009 to give gardeners the information and the encouragement to get started. When I find something that would help another gardener, I add it here. New tools and printables come first in my free newsletter!
